1. Defensive Driving: Maintain sufficient following distance (3 seconds in the city, 4-5 seconds in rain/snow), constantly observe road conditions ahead, and anticipate risks early.
2. Preventing ‘Sudden Appearances’ at Intersections: When passing bus stops, residential entrances, etc., slow down in advance and keep your right foot on the brake to prepare for pedestrians or electric bikes suddenly appearing.
3. Avoid Distracted Driving: Refrain from using your phone while driving. If you need to operate it, pull over safely. Urumqi traffic police data shows distracted driving is a major cause of rear-end collisions.
4. Plan Rest Stops: On long drives, take breaks at service areas every 2 hours or so to avoid fatigue driving.
5. Handling Severe Weather: In rain or snow, accelerate and brake gently, maintain distance. In extreme weather, it’s better to stop and wait than to risk driving through.
6. Familiarity with Local Roads: Urumqi local drivers are familiar with the speed limits and road conditions of the Hetan Expressway, overpasses, and highways, effectively avoiding risks.
✅ How to Screen Reliable Customized Car Rental
1. Verify Operating Qualifications: Check if the vehicle has a road transport permit and if the driver holds a passenger transport qualification certificate. You can ask the driver to show it or check the company’s registration info on the ‘Xinjiang Cultural Tourism’ mini-program.
2. Beware of Unusually Low Quotes: Quotes significantly below market price may carry risks. Ensure all cost details (e.g., overtime fees, excess mileage fees, driver accommodation) are written into the contract.
3. Sign a Formal Contract: Use a formal contract with the company’s letterhead, clearly stating itinerary, costs, insurance, breach of contract terms, etc., and keep payment receipts.
4. Clarify Vehicle Needs: Inform the travel agency of your group size, luggage situation, route preferences, and whether you need child seats in advance, so they can recommend suitable vehicles.
